You're welcome to search them if you know what the emulator might be called. The tapes are available via anonymous ftp from sunsite.unc.edu, in /pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/rsx/decus. I've got 4 more tapes to put there, still. I'll also be putting up some disclaimers about which files are not properly represented on the Unix file system - most text and executable files are represented properly, but no library or object file can be run through a Unix system without getting mangled. I'm working on a way around this by using Universal Libraries. Many thanks to Tom Wyant for his advice and the tapes he found for me! Tim. (shoppa@altair.krl.caltech.edu)
